I'm starting my master's degree in Library and Information Studies and I really believe this is a good fit for me, but I've spent the last few months reading and hearing nothing but discouraging statistics about the state of libraries in the current economic climate. While that's certainly true...

It is. I preferred Massie's Nicholas and Alexandra, but I enjoyed both books. He's informative without being dry; both read like novels.

The thing is, they weren't even doing a particularly effective job at confiscation. I (unfortunately) had my balloons in my purse, and they grabbed all of those, but they didn't check my pockets at all. Had I kept my balloons in there, they'd never have found them. Then to top it off, I heard...

I work on campus and I saw a total of two posters on the east wall of SUB ... which were promptly covered up by a million other ads (you can just barely see them now), and I saw a handful of other posters on some construction sites on Jasper Ave at around 108th. That's it. Maybe there was more...

I was able to pull multiples in section CC which is lower deck but behind the stage (and probably obstructed view because of the claw leg) at about 4:15, so it's not completely sold out on the lower deck, but I think it's getting close because I kept pulling the same section.

There was a second presale for the added Toronto date before the onsale for the general public. I used half of my code each time. I just checked my gmail folder (it's really handy to not trash all your old emails after all!) and it looks like those presales were four days apart. I bought...

'Angela's Ashes' author McCourt dies in NYC at 78 RIP

Successful people* don't take a week off of work to sit on their asses on a sidewalk at 7 pm the night before a concert. You seem to think that it's as simple as booking time off of work and that this somehow defines how big of a fan you are. I've been a U2 fan for 17 years. I'm struggling to...

I thought the crowd in Calgary was terrible. By far the worst. Maybe the floor was better, but where I was, most people were sitting the entire show. I think I was the only one in my section on my feet the entire time -- exactly the kind of person that Muldfeld would hate. :D

Education. Like I said, this province places little value on it.

This instructor sounds like quite the advocate for the subject he was teaching. University is not the place where you go to learn a trade. Part of the point of a university education is to learn higher level thinking, to be able to evaluate, to synthesize, and process. These are important...

Another (lifelong) Albertan checking in. But, sorry, I'd pass on Red Deer, too.

Not quite. Mackenzie King's minority government stayed in power the longest, for 3 years, 7 months, and 21 days back in the early 1920s. There is a chart listing the length of Canadian minority governments at the bottom of this page if you're interested.

Arcade Fire is already touring in late September/early October, at least. I'm seeing them on October 4th. :hyper: Still, getting a preview at the Toronto shows would be great. :hmm:

Yes, but you have to wonder there is anyone around him who will tell him that. I get the impression that people tell him what he wants to hear. Hopefully, that will change, because it's certainly not like he'll recognize it on his own. A part of me wonders if he'll see the acquittal as proof...
